I'd make another pearl one and have one on each end of a long rope. Then go ahead and make a garnet one for good measure! I would rig up the top of the tassel or the ends of the rope so they can be detachable/interchangeable.

I know someone who might be able to help you with that...:rolleyes:

Welcome, Diver! That is a lovely pearl - what a lucky find! I do like the idea of tentacles...I have a bit of a thing for cephalopods. I'm another Northern California diver … you should come wave at me when I'm in the tank of one of San Francisco's aquariums! Anyway, looking forward to...

So many beautiful pearls, it's hard to keep up! As a counterpoint to all the elegance, here's my casual corset-making pearly look for today - a long- forgotten pondslime fireball tin cup, with infant octo on velvet stretchy cord, denim blue workshirt... Woo hoo, on the third try I got the...

I love them all - the one with the diamond tail is truly spectacular!!!

So lovely, Purranha, excellent work!!! We can count on you to continue to awe and inspire us with your innovative creations!

Beautifully creepy! Love it!!!

Ooooooh, those are glorious!!!!'
